Economist Dian Cohen shared her expertise widely through radio, TV and books

Dian Cohen wrote books and newspaper columns about retirement and advised audiences about life after work on hundreds of radio and television broadcasts. But while she may have known the secrets to a happy retirement, she was happier to keep on working. She wrote her final column just before her death on May 5 at the age of 92.“This is my last column. I’ve loved every minute of writing them and answering your questions. My curiosity about how the financial world works has driven my efforts to provide you with insights. I learned early on that politics plays an outsized role in finance, but it’s not the only factor,” began the column, which appeared in the May 13 edition of The Record, a daily newspaper in Quebec’s Eastern Townships.
